I just installed two new 3# Packages... let them hang out for 4 days. And just turn out the queens Saturday. One hive was just like it should be with the right number of bees for a 3# package. The other Hive was full of Bees... looked like 7 full frames and not liking me around... now I have the Queen in my hand still in a cage...so where did all the bees come from. I was thanking that a swarm had moved in with queen and all ... But check them today day and my marked Queen stall around and looking good... and the bees are alot nicer today to. Oh and by the way what do you guys put on stings :confused:

Well shoot, I have never seen a picture of what you guys were calling plantain. Plantain for me has always been a banana relative, and I was wondering where in the heck in nebraska or oregon you guys were seeing plantains.

I don't know what this weed is (it sure is common in temperate climates like New Jersey where I grew up), but I wouldn't call it plantain because of my experience with plantain in florida being that of a type of starchy banana.
